If I want to upload a data file from my own system, what file types are accepted?

As a planning professional, you may have already drawn the boundary in your own software and wish to upload it as a location plan file into the Planning Portal, instead of drawing the boundary again.

Find out more about uploading a site boundary file1.

The system accepts the uploading of .json files, in line with the data files we pass to and are accepted by Local Authorities.
